The Common People of Great Britidn, Wo have' just finished reading the address of Henry Ward Beecher, - de livered at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, giving his impressions of the sentiments of the British public on the rebellion question in this country.— Mr.B. dissects at great length the ele ments which go to make up the public sentiment of the British empire. Mr. B. found the commercial classes, the aristocracy, and very largely even of what has been heretofore called the anti-slavery sentiment of that country, enlisted in behalf of the rebels and against the Union. The great de ment which has kept that country from positively interfering in favor of the rebels, has been that the entire mass of the great laboring middle class sympathize thoroughly with the North. The Queen and the royal fa mily, a large number of prominent in dividuals in Church and State, quite a number of the liberal and progressive journals, favor our side; but, after all. the controlling force which has re strained the governing class is the fear of the great non-voting mass of that empire. We have no doubt, after reading his analyo, that he is right. "Therefore it is, that when the great under class of England is determined in ono direction, they always carry their point; first or last, the upper classes have to give way. Men whose fortunes are made—men whose only thought for the future is'to carry the rich freights of the present along into their future—that class are generally against us. Men who have no for tunes—men having very little in the present to care for, who are struggling for bettor fortunes for themselves and children—that class are-on our side.— They aro in our fliror, but they are a class who have not much voice—have very little expression, and they are, therefore, little heard. Their report is not wafted across, but their influ ence is felt on the other side of the sea. It seems to me that it is pecali-I fitting that we, who bsiterc - :in the common people,„should find our selresopposed-by'tho titled and strong, but should find our allies and fast friends in the emerOney have been the common people of Great Britain. [Applause.] The result has been that the: Government has more and more modified its policy until it now came to that condition in which, I believe, wo may in the main feel satisfied, England has determined that ships of war shall not be seht out from her ports to harass our commerce and drive it from the sea. The language of Lord John Russell, in his statement of the policy of the British Govern ment in the future, has met with some few dissentient voices, but it has • met with the approbation of the great I11:138 Of -the British people, and the Government will unquestionably main tain for the future that policy which they now stand upon. "I hold in my hand a letter from Richard Cobden. [Tremendous ap plause.] He says: 'You will carry back an intimate acquaintance with a state of feeling in this country among what, for a better name, I call the ru ling class. Their sympathy is un doubtedly strongly for the South, with the instinctive satisfaction at the pros pect of the disruption of the great Re public. It is natural enough. But do not forgot that we have in this case, for the first time in our history, taken sides for a foreign government against its rebellious citizens. [Tremendous applause.] In every other instance whether in the case of the Poles, Ital ians, Hungarians and Corsicans, South Americans or Greeks, the popular sym pathy of this country has always leap ed to the side of the insurgents the moment the rebellion has broken out. In the present case- our masses have an instinctive satisfaction that their cause is bound up in the prosperity of the States—the United States. It is true that they have not a particle of power in the direct form of a vote, but when millions in this country aro led by the religious middle class they can go and prevent the governing class from pursuing a policy hostile to their sympathies." [Tremendous applause. Messrs. Cobden and Beecher are un doubtedly right, and to the common people of our mother land aro we in debted for all the kindly sympathies which unite in bands of steel the mas ses of the two continonts.—Pittsburgh Commercial.

IMPORTANT SOUTHERN NEWS, The Richmond Enquirer Attacks The Rebel Government, SURRENDER AND SURPRISE [From the Richmond Enquirer, Nov. 11.) The people and army of the Confed erate States have been so much com plimented upon the prowess and gal lantry of their arms, so much flattered upon what has been accomplished that they have lost sight of the fact that more surrenders have been made by their armies than by the armies of any other nation. What nation in three years of war ever lowered their flag eleven times in surrenders.— There has been eleven Confederate surrenders since this war began. Near Rich Mountain, at Hatteras, at Island No. 10, at Fort Henry, at Fort Donelson, at Roanoke Island, at Fort Philips and Jackson, at Arkansas Post, at Vicksburg, at Port Hudson, and at Cumberland Gap. And then there has not been an instance of punishment in this long list •of disas• tors; but, on the contrary, promotion has, in some instances, followed swift upon the surrender. If the history of this war will show as much gallantry in the fight as that of' any other war, it will also exhibit more surrenders than ever betel the arms of any other nation during the same period of time; and we cannot point to any Saragossa, Ginona, Londonderry, of Genoa to off set this long catalogue of unsuccessful sieges. If our people cannot understand why European nations hesitate to re cognize our nationality,-perhaps they may find the cause in the fact that the flag we seek to register among the nations of the earth, though often crowned with glorious victory, has, unfortunately, been lowered very of ten in unmitigated disgrace. And as long as foreign nations see surrenders so complacently made, and promotions often following them, they are uncer tain whether some steamer may not bring the news of our unconditional surrender to the terms of our enemy. The nations of Europe accustomed to such defences as the Spaniards made in the Peninsula,or that of the French at Genoa, or tat of the English at Londonderry, cannot understand our style of defence. They remember the disgrace that was heaped upon Dupont for the capi tulation of Baylen, and upon Mack for the surrender of Ulm, and they mnnot. cictiliprehend - ' the wisdom of that inilita._ ry'diseipline that rewards with promo tion those who surrendered, and, in some instances, over men who escaped from and did not participate in the dis grace. Napoleon never permitted any ono of the officers who participated in the capitulation of Baylen to servo under him, and even the Austrians condemn ed to death Mack for the surrender of Ulm ; and yet neither of these surren ders was more disgraceful than many of ours which have not, called forth oven an official reprimand. We do not mean to intimate that all of these surrenders were equally disgraceful, but we do say that not one of them conferred any honor upon the arms of the Confederate States. At mauy of them gallant fighting was done,. at Viekaburg and Port Hudson;_ at Don elson and Roanoke Island, there was not wanting instances of great gallan- Ary, put to none of them can we point with the pride of the Spaniard, the French, and the English, at places made glorious by tho obstinacy and endurance of the defence. The surprises of Kollysville, Brandy Station, Williamsport, Bristow Station and now the late disaster on the Rap pahannock, show how leniency to the first dereliction of duty may entail continued and repeated disasters, and carelessness inflict lasting disgrace up on the army. Notwithstanding the gallantry of Northern Virginia, something is wan ted to correct and prevent these fre quent affairs. It is but a poor conso lation to record how gallantly the fight was made after recovering from the surprise. The officers and soldiers of that army always fight well; and, though these frequent surprises may tend to develop the "two o'clock-in-the morning courage," of which Napoleon said he found but fow men possessed yet wo very much doubt if oven that recompenses for the loss of men and material now so much needed by our army. It has not yet transpired where the brigade of Bloke and Hays were when the enemy pounced upon them; it is not yet stated how they came to be la) completely isolated from the main bo dy of the army that they could not be reinforced, though the fight is repre sented to have lasted ‘`without inter mission from two o'clock in the after noon till dark." No explanation has been made why reinforcements were not sent to their rescue; nor aro we informed how those two small brigades came to be thus exposed, inviting almost their capture or annihilation. We hope that those aro good and sufficient reasons for all these strange circumstances, and that Gon. Lee will upon investigation, be satisfied that his two brigades were lost in one of the ordinary eventualities of war, which no vigilance can 'prevent, and no activity remedy. Surprises aro more injurious to military prestige, more destructive to men and material than defeat in regular battle; and as they aro so easily prevented, the offi cer who suffers himself to bo surprised and pounced upon so suddenly by an army that the men "seemed to• have risen out of the ground," deserves the severest punishment. The army of Gon. Bragg has lately suffered greatly from a surprise, by which an important rosition -PERSEVERE.- ed by the enemy and ono which it is feared may neutralize much of the ad vantage gained by the battle of Chick amauga.' We might, by reviewing the history of the war, swell the num ber of surprises to the equal of that of the surrenders, but it would be useless; men, and officers, and people, and the enemy, and the world knows and un derstands the injury they inflict, and military discipline in every army has sought to correct such evils by the se verest punishnlent. We must do as the world does;.our officers must be held to the satpe accountability that has always been applied to negligence. We cannot afford to be as lenient as NapOleon was, for our necessities aro greater and ottr cause holier Ulna was that of the Emperor of the French. It is far more pleasant to commend than to censure, but as this paper has never failed to hold up to public ap proval the gallantry of officers and men, we must also expose to public reprobation every instance of derelic tion of duty, negligence, or cowardice. We hope there,has been neither in this late disaster, bat appearances arc sad ly discouraging, The Late Fight - on the Rappahannock. On yesterday several officers and privates, wounded in the disastrous tight near Kelly's Ford on Saturday, reached the city, having been preceded on Monday by about 150 wounded in the same fight. They corroborate the general report of the affair, namely:— 'hat the two brigades to which they were attached,:Hoke's and Hays'—the former numbering 1,150 effective men, and the latter 976, and the whole com manded by-Brigadier General Hays— were on picket duty on the north side of the Rappahannock, not far from the ford, when, about 11 o'clock in the forenoon, they worn apprised of the approach of an overwhelming Yankee force. They, howeVer, bravely delermined to stand their round, and they per formed their My nobly. Ono of the most desperate fights of the war ensu ed. The enemy had fearful odds a gainst them, h force being estimated at 12,000 infantry and artillery. Many of our iron fought after being wound ed, and both the infantry and artillery behaved splendidly; but the Yankees Were too many for them. About 1,- 100 were . taken prisoners, 300 ' were killed or wounded, and the rest, over 600, escaped in confusion. Among the escaped was Gen. hays. The Yankee less is e. - ItimatVer—at. 600 killed and wounded. THE LITTLE OUTCAST. "Mayn't I stay, ma'am ? I'll do anything you give me—cut wood, go after water,and do all your errands." The troubled eyes of the speaker were filled with tears. It was a lad that stood at the outer door, pleading with a kindly-looking woman, who still seemed inclined to doubt the re ality of his kind intentions. The cottage sat by itself on a bleak moor, or what in Scotland would have been called such. The time was near the latter end of September, and a fierce wind rattled the boughs of the only two naked trees near the house, and fled with a shivering sound into the narrow door-way, as if seeking for warmth at the blazing fire withid. Now and then a snow-flake touched WitliliTS — S - 0 ft - chill - tne - eneeir or ttio-lie' tener, or whitened the angry redness of the poor boy's benumbed hands. The woman was evidently loth t. grant the boy's request, and the pecu liar look stumped upon his features would have suggested to any mind an idea of depravity far beyond his years. But her woman's heart could not resist the sorrow in those large, but by no means handsome, gray eyes. "Come in, at any rate, till the good man comes home; there, sit down by the fire; you look perishing with cold" —and she drew a rude chair up to the warmest corner, then, suspiciously glancing at the child from the corners of her eyes, she continued setting the table for supper. Presently came the tramp of heavy shoes • the door was swung open with quicka l jerk, and the "good man" pre sented himself wearied with labor. A look of intelligence passed be tween his wife and himself—he, too, scanned the boy's face with an ex pression not evidencing satisfaction, but, nevertheless, made him come to the table, and then enjoyed the zest with which he despatched his supper. Day after day passed, and yet the boy begged to be kept "only till to morrow ;" so the good couple, after due consideration, concluded that as long as he was docile, and worked so heartily, they would retain him One day, in the middle of winter, a pedlar, long accustomed to trade at the cottage, made his appearance, and disposed of hie goods readily, as ho had been waited for. "You have a boy out there splitting wood, I see," he said, pointing to the yard. "Yes; do you know him ?" "1 have seen him," replied the ped lar, evasively. "And where—who is ho? what is be?" "A jail-bird !" and the pedlar swung his pack over his shoulder ; "that boy, young as ho looks, I saw in court my self, and heard his sentence—'ten months; he's a hard one—you'd do well to look keerfully after him." Oh there was something so horrible in the word jail—the poor woman trembled as she laid away her purcha ses, nor could she be easy till she call ed the boy in, and assured him that she knew that dark part of his history. Ashamed, distressed, Ole vhild hung down his head; his cheeks seemed bursting with his hot blood; his lips quivered, and anguish was painted as vividly upon his forehead as if the n - ord tvers hr,v.Asd into his flesh, "Well," he muttered, his whole frame relaxing as if a burden of guilt or joy had suddenly rolled off, "I may as well go to ruin at once—there's no use in my trying to do better—every body hates and despisesme—nobody cares about me. I may as well go to ruin at onet. "Tell mo," said the woman, who stood off far enough for flight, if that should be necessary—"how came you to go so young to that dreadful plaeo ? Where was your mother where ?" "Oh !" exclaimed the boy, with a burst of grief that was terrible to be hold, "oh ! I haint no mother—oh I haint had no mother ever since I was a baby. If I'd only had a mother," he continued, his anguish growing ve hement, and the tears gushing out from his strange-looking gray eyes, "I wouldn't 'a been bound out, and kicked and cuffed, and laid on to with whips. I wouldn't 'a been saucy, and got knocked down, and then run away. and stole because I was hungry. Oh ! I haint got no mother—l haint got no mother—l haven't bad no mother since I was a baby." The strength was all gone from the poor boy, and ho sank on his knees sobbing great choking sobs, and rub bing the hot tears away with his poor knuckles. And did that woman stand there unmoved ? Did she coldly bid him pack up and be off—the jail-bird? No, no ; she had been a mother, and, though all her children slept under the cold sod in the churchyard, she was a mother still. She went up to that poor boy, not to hasten him, .away, but fingers- kindly, softly on his head—to tell him to look up, and from hence• forth find in her a mother. Yes, she oven put her arm about the neck of that forsaken, deserted child—she poured from her mother's heart, sweet womanly words, words of counsel and tenderness. Oh how sweet was her sleep that night—how soft her pillow. She had linked a poor, suffering heart to hors byThe most silken, the strongest bands of love; she had plucked some thorns from the path of a little sinning, but striving mortal. None but the angels could witness her holy joy, and not envy. Did the boy leave her? Never—ho is with her still; a vig orous, manly, promising youth. The low charaacr of his countenance has given place to an open, pleasing ex pression, with depth enough to make . it 'tin Interi3stiiig study.

"ITo that saveth a soul from death, hideth a multitude of sins." The Cotton Prospects for 1864. The English journals continuo to discuss the cotton prospects for 1861. The latest and fullest paper on the subject appears in the Manchester Ex• (miler, in which the writer, after an exhaustive review of the facts in the case, presents the following results: First, that Jim production of cotton in other countries than the Southern States of America, is steadily increas ing, the imports of 1864 exceeding 12,0 I,lo.Ay_t 0f_18.62 h r . one millirrn of bales, thus lessoning exclusive de pendence upon one source of Supply; secondly, that the three countries which have shown the most eager de sire to contribute to this result—Egypt Turkey and Italy—possess advanta ges in climate, soil and facility of ac cess to the English market, which en ables them to compete successfully with the Southern States of America, not only iu quality, but also in cost of production. The writer is confident that in a few years the coast of the Mediterranean will furnish an annual supply of two millions of bales. Of Li dia he does not take so hopeful a view. So long as high prices prevail she may furnish a considerable quantity of cot ton; but when this stimulus is with drawn, and the day of competition re turns—as return it it is thought, will she descend to her for mer subordinate position in the cotton markets of the world. The result (he says) will be owing to the inferiority of her staple, the imperfection of her agriculture, the ignorance of her ryots the frauds of her middlemen, and the indifference of her rulers. DIPIITUERIA.—We have received a recipe for the cure of diphtheria, from a physician who says that of 1,000 ca ses in which it has been used not a sin gle patient has been lost. The treat ment consists in thoroughly swabbing the back of the mouth and throat with a wash made thus:—Table salt, 2 drs. black pepper, golden seal, nitrate of potash, alum, 1 drachm each. Mix and pulverize, put into a tea-cup which half fill up with good vinegar. Use every half hour, one, two and four hours, as recovery progresses. The patient may swallow a little each time. Apply 1 oz. each of spirits turpentine, sweet oil, and aqua ammonia mixed, every four hours to the whole . of the throat, and to the breast bone, keep ing flannel to the part. lugx,. The War in Japan.—The Times of India states that the Japanese city of Kagosima, nearly destroyed by a bombardment of the British squadron, was of vast extent. It was protected along its entire front by some twelve batteries excellently mounted. After the bombardment the city was one mass of ruins. This has probably taught them a lesson which they will remember for some time.

S. B. CRENEY, Editor, To whom all communications on the.sub ject of Education should be addressed. Mow the roomylvanitt School Jouthalj The Teacher as a Talker. 1. Ile should be an easy one. Of all men ho most needs fluency of speech. A few disagreeable twitchings of face and sawings of hands have nearly de stroyed my interest in the utterance of one of the beet thinkers I have ev er known. Much more difficult is it, then, for the young mind to maintain an interest in the talking of the tea cher who has to labor to work even the most common-place thoughts into words! What sorer infliction any where than a hard speaker ? Is not the wonder that the young pupils stand as well as they do, belaboring with words ? • The most prudent teacher must talk much, and physically to talk easily, is of no slight importance. 2. The teacher should be - a ready speaker; a minute man in the use of verbal expletives—not merely, or prin cipally in the enunciation of theories in the great assemblies where peda gogues congregate, but before his dai ly classes. Ilia mind and tongue should-btreetr-.llke - ttie — iticTir - ailicate j hair-trigger; ho should be able to bring down mental birds as they flit by, "on the wing." 3. A forcible talker the teacher should surely be, and to bo "such he must bo clear. This is tho most im portant quality in any speaker's style, how doubly needful in that of him who deals with young undisciplined minds! And to speak clearly we must think clearly. A 'wonderful re flex influence speaking and thinking have upon each other. Clear streams do not flow in muddy channels; and if you and I cannot use .language to make a pupil 'see' some point, should we not inquire if the root of the mat ter is really in us ? Why do our pub __they-"ean't tochil: dien ?" Not because their. great_ideas ,cannot be compressed enough to enter juvenile minds, but because such minds will be interested in nothing but good and clear sense. A clear, forcible style must also be terse. Every word in a sentence is ei ther a burden or a support. And, like a chaste pillar - for beauty or strength, every proposition should bear noneed less weight. "Who is this that dark eneth counsel with -words without knowledge ?" I suppose the truth must be told, the answer must be giv ; on—the careless teacher. When I hear a speaker make a most excellent point, and then, inseead of stopping, continuo tci:qualify the first Or make another, until both are spoiled, I think of a painter, who, wanting just , to touch some lineament of an already finished picture, finishes it, indeed, as I could—by dropping his brush upon its face. How much harder it is to know when to stop talking than how to begin ! But the forcible, successful teacher must bo earnest. Hoar the best authority on this subject : Clear ness, force, earnestness, are the quali ties which - produce conviction in minds of any age. If a teacher stops to take ono grape, when attempting to illus trate some thought, bo assured, mean while, his pupils will take tWo. A teacher's soul must be in the work, or it will not breathe forth in his words. Ah ! wo love the calm self-possession of the good disciplinarian, but never would we have it purchased at the price of that enthusiasm which fires up its possessor, even before his little audience, 4. An eloquent talker; and that is what ho must be, if successful. Yes, let the law sprig laugh, and the young divine sneer at the thought of eloquent tones issuing from the schoolmaster's desk. The man who can stand daily before the piercing eyes and plastic minds of children, and feel not inter est enough in the truth be is present ing, or In the welfare of his immortal charge, to rouse in his breast some el oquent fire, has no soul for eloquence. 5. A discreet talker—not a long; random declaimer. Truth, pertinent truth and fact, will form the basis of all eloquence—its limits will be utility. No man more than the teacher needs to know just when to speak, what to say, bow to say it, or (hardest of all) when t 3 stop. Judgment, judgment is the groat thing in every buSiness of life. I would give more for some gen erals who have handled one regiment, in ono battle, than for some others who have spout two score years in military life.

A wooden man is patient, or at least insensible. But the teacher, without tremendous' energy behind his patience, is a poor affair. Upon how many and various things the teacher must decide ! and; the decision, too, must be instant. When should come the gentle reproof when the kind words 'of encourage• ment, when the stinging sarcasm, when the stern command? And do not suppose we think the teacher should be continually lecturing his pupils, either on morals or class studies. 0, the power of silence, the force of a motion or a look !—the pres sure of a quiet, self-reliant reserve force upon a school. We envy, at least we would emulate, the power of the man Nth() is so completely master of himself that the worst school can draw from him no word of irAtation, whose true dignity and self-respect a legion of bad boys could not disturb.

Pupil Teacher. Fall and early-Winter oare of Sheep. Probably no part of farmstock pays so liberally and'PrbinAly'fbr'eariti'and attention as do sheep. The'difforetiee of ono pound of -wool 'O'n,r , head, at sheiaring time, - would be . iegarded 'as an item of no small importance in fig uring up the value of li year's clip from a large flock; yet there is often a much larger difference than this in the in come of flocks, resulting from Woman nor of feeding, housing and tending.— Sheep may have good pasturage in summer, and good attention after the winter season has fairly set in, and yet suffer for want of proper care during the cold storms of fall and early win ter, and from an insufficiency of food "between bay and grass." The. fol lowing remarks which wo extract from phe Michigan Farmer, are timely; and to the point.____.___ There iti no season of tliiiyegrlflizin -- , sheep aro more liable to lose nearly all they have gained, than during the fall and early winter; and if they do, there is an end to the hope of a crop of wool. For the want of food has the effect of stopping the growth of the wool, and the moment the growth is stopped, the end of the fibre is completed, a change takes place, it becomes dead, in a man ner analogous to the stem of ripe fruit, and a renewal of good feed after these months, and after the growth of tho wool has been once stopped, only pre pares the skin to send forth a new growth that pushes off the old fleece, and causes it to be lost before shearing time. The cases aro not unfrequent, when we have been told by the ow ners of flocks of sheep, which were shown in a very tattered condition in the spring , that they did rt,.t know what had into their sheep, they "had fed them grain ever since Febru ary-, or perhaps since New Year's;" it, could not be poor feed that had caused the loss of the fleece, But in fact, the harm was done perhaps before New Year's. The sheep had been allowed to lose their condition in November auc December, the growth of the fleece had been arrested, and the interior works of the skin that produced the pile of wool had been stopped for want of supplies. When the Works were again sot in motion by sufficient sup ply of food, they produced a new crop, which did not connect with the old one. Nothin. , is more evident from this than that the economy of the wool grower consists in keeping his sheep well fed during the early part of win ter,and also well protected froM storms, for it is plain from the fact that wool begins to grow even on poorly kept sheep, as soon as the temperature of spring permits the animal economy to divert some of the supplies from being consumed in keeping up . the more vi tal organization, to the increase of the fleece, that heat has as much to do with the growth of wool as with the growth of plants. Hence we say give the sheep protection at an early date in the beginning of winter, if you de sire to keep the fleece in full growth during the cold season. Ite6 Cotton appears to be coining in rapidly from the Southwest, and a sen sible decline in the price is the conse quence. It must soon affect manufac tured goods so as to bring down the price.
